Russell's parents were James Wright Russell and wife Nancy Johnston. They were married in 1816 in Orange Co., NC. One of James Wright Russell's brothers was named Robt. Paisley Russell and is buried, I think, in Bonham, Fannin Co., TX. According to my records, Robt. had a son named D.A. Russell (I guess David Almarine?). John R. Russell was my gg grandfather so I guess we're cousins! Ken
